Fillamentum Extrafill PLA Profile for OrcaSlicer

This profile is designed for printing with Fillamentum Extrafill PLA using OrcaSlicer. It is suitable for both CoreXY and cartesian 3D printers. The profile is tuned to deliver rich matte colors and consistent dimensional accuracy, making it a reliable choice for makers seeking quality, strength, and dependable results with PLA filament.

Why This Profile Works

The tuning logic behind this profile focuses on balancing print quality and reliability. By optimizing temperature settings and cooling, the profile ensures smooth extrusion and strong layer adhesion. The settings are chosen to minimize warping and stringing, while maintaining the vibrant finish characteristic of Fillamentum Extrafill PLA. The profile is also tailored for large prints, making it ideal for projects that require both scale and precision.

Recommended Use Cases

Key Settings Explained

Hotend and Bed Temperatures: The profile uses a 215 °C hotend and a 60 °C PEI bed, which are optimal for Fillamentum Extrafill PLA. These temperatures promote strong first layer adhesion and reduce the risk of warping.

Cooling: Cooling is set aggressively, with the part cooling fan running at 100% after the first layer. This helps achieve crisp details and prevents overheating, which is especially important for PLA.

Pressure Advance: Enabled with a moderate value, pressure advance helps maintain clean corners and reduces oozing, especially on CoreXY and cartesian machines.

Layer Height and Infill: The profile is set for standard 0.2mm layer height and approximately 25% infill, balancing print speed and part strength for most general applications.

Bed Adhesion: A skirt is used for bed adhesion, which helps prime the nozzle and ensures a clean start without excessive material waste.
